For grown-ups

A little play, together

SproutPlay is designed for ages 4–7. Let your child choose what to try and decide when to take a break.

Follow their lead

Try the example together. Give your child time to think, then ask them to show you how they worked it out. Use the easier set when a game feels new.

Count objects one at a time and connect the total to a numeral.

Ask together Can you point to each piece as you count it?

Name colours, follow a simple recipe and predict a result.

Ask together What do you think these two paints will make?

Recognize shapes by their outlines and properties, even when turned.

Ask together Which parts stay the same when you turn the shape?

Spot a repeating unit and use it to extend a sequence.

Ask together What little part repeats? Can we say it together?
